Automation that keeps pace with Salesforce

  • Built specifically for the Salesforce platform, Automated Testing understands Salesforce Lightning components, metadata, UI patterns, and release cycles.
  • With AI-powered screen recording, the testing process is accessible to any team member — from building to running, and maintenance.
  • Less test maintenance and more reliable regression testing compared to generic test automation tools.

Test Salesforce the way users actually experience it

  • Automated UI test cases run as real users, using real profiles and permission sets, so you can validate critical workflows across different user roles.
  • Test Salesforce applications in a live browser view of your Salesforce org.
  • Validate full user journeys, catch access issues, broken screens, and workflow failures early, before they disrupt your customers or internal teams.

Catch regressions before they reach production

  • Combine automated UI testing with unit testing, user acceptance testing, and code reviews to create continuous testing across the DevOps lifecycle.
  • Easily check your Flows, Apex, metadata, and permissions work together, preventing regressions, reducing production incidents, and releasing with confidence.
  • Gate every PR with automated UI checks, catching bugs before they reach production.

FAQs

Salesforce automated testing tools are designed to automate the Salesforce testing process. Instead of relying on manual testing or brittle test scripts, it provides a testing framework for creating, running, and maintaining automated testing across Salesforce applications. This improves test coverage, testing efficiency, and overall quality assurance across your Salesforce environment.

A testing platform like Gearset Automated Testing lets you go beyond native Ssalesforce support for UI testing and create a test automation process that interacts with the user interface the same way real users do. Gearset’s Salesforce test automation solution uses artificial intelligence to support scriptless test creation and low code test creation while handling dynamic elements like Salesforce Lightning components and Shadow DOMs. This automated approach supports your broader testing strategy, without increasing test maintenance or manual effort.

Automated UI testing improves testing efficiency by shortening feedback loops and enabling continuous testing of Salesforce components. By replacing slow manual testing processes with test automation, teams catch bugs earlier, reduce rework, and test Salesforce applications faster without sacrificing quality.

Manual testing does play a role in early exploration and user acceptance testing, but it does not scale well and can introduce human error. Automated testing is more effective for production testing, regression testing, system testing, end-to-end testing, and integration testing, providing consistent results and broader comprehensive testing. Most teams adopt layered testing strategies that combine unit tests, automated UI testing, and targeted manual checks.

Salesforce releases can stall testing progress. Salesforce ships three major releases each year, and even small UI changes can break automated tests that rely on fragile details like element names, page structure, exact button locations, or how pages are grouped behind the scenes. Features such as Shadow DOMs, which Salesforce uses to isolate parts of the interface, can also change between releases and make traditional tests harder to keep stable. This is a common issue with many Salesforce test automation tools, which depend on highly specific locators that don’t always survive platform updates or org-specific customisations.

Gearset’s AI-powered approach is designed to be more resilient to Salesforce releases. Instead of relying on brittle technical identifiers, tests focus on what’s visible on the page and how real users interact with Salesforce. That means fewer broken tests after releases, less ongoing maintenance, and testing that can keep pace as the platform evolves.

Yes. Gearset supports scriptless test creation and low code test creation, allowing non technical users to be involved in testing Salesforce apps without writing code. This makes automated and efficient testing and test management accessible across teams involved in Salesforce implementations, not just specialist QA or automation engineers.

Automated Testing’s integration capabilities mean that UI testing can fit seamlessly into your pipeline. Automated Testing supports continuous integration by ensuring tests run consistently as part of your DevOps lifecycle, integrating with planning tools and issue trackers such as Jira and Azure DevOps, so test results can be linked to work items and tracked through to resolution.

Automated Testing is part of the Gearset full-lifecycle DevOps platform. Unlike other Salesforce testing tools, tests are designed to reflect real user behaviour and fit into your existing workflow, including CI pipelines. Once set up, tests can run automatically as part of your deployment process, providing fast, reliable feedback as changes move through the DevOps lifecycle.

Gearset’s UI Testing is priced as part of the wider Gearset platform, which supports Salesforce automation across the full DevOps lifecycle. To see pricing for your org’s size and setup, contact our team for a personalized quote.
